 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today's card is one that I made months ago and it uses lots of retired Stampin Up! products!

I made this and put it in my bin to put on the card rack when I need it.

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments (retired 2020)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic White, Lily Impressions DSP (retired SAB 2020)

This was a nice pack of DSP that I am still slowly working my way thru!

It may just get unloaded though on my next cleanout, unfortunately.

Tis the Season

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today is going to be a down day for me. 

I feel like I have been going 100 mph the last few days but the decorating is all done!

Shawn helped with carrying the ceramic Christmas trees up from the storage room which was a huge help. He said last night that everything looked so nice. 

Now we can sit back and enjoy all that hard work.

I have a pretty Christmas card to share with you that I made recently using 2 retired sets.

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Season (retired), Christmas to Remember (retired)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand (retired)

Cardstock: Real Red, Sahara Sand, Basic White, Peaceful Prints DSP (retired)

Accessories: Seasonal Labels Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Gold Swirls (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used the Peaceful Prints DSP that was a SaleABRation offering a few years ago. I pulled out some scraps from my pack to create this card. This paper is some of the prettiest and I have alot of it to use up!

Woven Heirlooms

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

We had a beautiful day here in PA yesterday!

Clear blue skies and lots of sunshine that helped melt that ice & snow!

Tomorrow more snow is on the way and let's hope it's not too much!

Today I have card #4 from Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends event!

We made 5 all occasion cards.

This one is a sympathy that uses the Woven Heirloom stamp set from the Annual Stampin Up! Catalog.

My card base is Seaside Spray then a layer of Woven Threads DSP which is retired. 

Then I took a scrap to Rococo Rose cardstock and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF to give it some texture.

My sentiment was stamped in Seaside Spray ink and diecut with the Circle Layering Framelits.

The flower is from the retired Thoughtful Blooms stamp set from last year's 2020 SaleABration.

I stamped it with Seaside Spray ink onto Seaside Spray cardstock.

I used the Small Bloom Punch to punch out my flower and added it with a touch of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added a rhinestone.

Card Details:

Stamps: Woven Heirloom, Thoughtful Blooms (retired 2020 SAB)

Ink: Seaside Spray

Cardstock: Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Whisper White, Woven Threads DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Small Bloom Punch, Rhinestone, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another flat card for easy mailing!

Rise & Shine Coffee Card

Hello & Happy Thursday!

We are one day closer to the long holiday weekend! YAY!

They are calling for it to be a very nice weekend so I am looking forward to that!

I hope it will be cool enough to leave the AC off!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made a few weeks ago using the SaleABration set, Rise & Shine.

I cased this card from Marisa at Kitchen Table Stamper. 

She is just awesome as I love all her amazing creations!

First off, I love the amazing colors in the patterned paper!

The paper is from the 2020 SaleABration Coordinates called Pleased As Punch.

I have maybe half a package left that I want to use up eventually.

The paper coordinates with a variety of stamp sets & punches which will make using it up easier!

Card Details:

Stamps: Rise & Shine (SAB 20)

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Pleased As Punch DSP (SAB Coordinates)

Accessories: Nature's Thoughts Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Cup of Cheer Dies (retired), Small Heart Punch (retired), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Sadly, most of these products are no longer available but they are going to stay in my stamp room for a long time to come! 

I enjoy making coffee cards but I don't have many friends that are coffee drinkers.

Thankfully, this set could be used for hot cocoa or tea!

Label Me Bold

Good Morning & Happy Friday!

We woke up to a cloudy, rainy morning with cooler temps!

It would be nice if it stayed raining all day!

This weekend will still be hot & humid as it's been so we will most likely just hibernate inside.

Today I have my 5th and last card from Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends get together.

Miss Emily and Deb both said that this one was their favorite!

I have to agree...

 

Isn't this a pretty card?

The stamp set is called Lovely Lilypad that came out this past January for SaleABration 2020.

It has coordinating Lilypad Dies and the Lily Impressions DSP which I used on this card.

This past winter with the bathroom renovation then the Covid thing, I never got to use this set as much as I wanted to. 

Now that i've started my stamp get together's again I will be using this suite of products more since I know that girls love it!

My sentiment comes from a retired set called Label Me Bold.

This was a million dollar achiever stamp set that was created by Jasmin Schulze and for the life of me i'm not sure why it did not carry over into the new catalog because it is awesome!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lovely Lilypad (SAB 20), Label Me Bold (retired)

Ink: Petal Pink, Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Lily Impressions DSP

Accessories: Lilypad Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Nature's Twine (retired), Rhinestones, Adhesive Sheets, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope you liked this card as much as my girls did!

Today I am headed to my stamp table to work on a pack of cards for a card order.

Then I hope to get it delivered soon!

Springtime Butterfly

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Sorry for the late update this morning!

The last few days are kinda a blur as Shawn's phone rang morning noon & night so it was sleepless and needless to say we were pretty grumpy!

I went to bed last evening at 8pm and slept until 10 this morning.

I was just beat!!

I do have a card to share today that I made to send out to a friend.

I definitely cased it from a card I saw online.

I loved how simple it was!

Nothing is popped up so it makes for easy mailing but don't you love how the butterfly wings are still free to move?! The body of the butterfly is glued down and the wings are left to move.

Such a fun card to make and that butterfly is so pretty!

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Lilypad DSP (SAB 20)

Accessories: Springtime Impressions Framelits, Glittered Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
